Biology Department Facilities
Biology student and faculty research is supported by several dedicated facilities.
- 罢丑别听聽has a lab and instrumentation offering brightfield, darkfield, phase contrast, fluorescence and differential interference microscopy, as well as microscopes offering unique spectral detection and resolution of up to 10 nm.
- Low-vibration scanning tunneling microscope that uses an ultrafine tip able to reveal atomic and molecular details of surfaces.
- 罢丑别听聽includes three X-ray diffractometers, a transmission electron microscope and an accurate-mass quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer.
- 聽include three Bruker instruments housed in Beury Hall鈥攖wo 500 MHz with more advanced, multinuclear capabilities聽and a 400 MHz for automated, routine proton and carbon NMR measurements. A 60 MHz instrument as well as new benchtop NMR spectrometers in the organic chemistry teaching laboratories provide hands-on exposure to this key analytical technique for all organic chemistry lab students.
- 罢丑别听聽is a newly renovated space of 1,200 square feet containing eight zebrafish housing units.
Research Centers & Institutes
The College of Science and Technology is not only committed to pursuing advanced research, but also to ensuring that scientific discoveries and new technology enter the marketplace to improve people鈥檚 lives.
The Biology Department works within a number of research centers and organizations to facilitate these goals.
